Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25679)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass URL parsing validation and potentially access unintended resources.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation in net/url.Parse when handling IPv6 literals not located at the start of the host component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted URL with an IPv6 literal preceded by garbage characters to bypass proper parsing and potentially redirect requests.
This issue affects any application using net/url.Parse to process untrusted URLs. The incorrect parsing may lead to misrouting or injection of unintended host components.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-32281)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in Certificate.Verify in crypto/x509 when validating certificate chains containing a very large number of policy mappings. A remote attacker can present a specially crafted certificate chain to cause a denial of service.
This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool or in the system certificate pool.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-32280)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in the Certificate.Verify chain-building logic in crypto/x509 when processing a large number of intermediate certificates supplied through VerifyOptions.Intermediates. A remote attacker can provide a large number of intermediate certificates to cause a denial of service.
This affects both direct users of crypto/x509 and users of crypto/tls.
